And the Orangecello is born!
Didn't make the wine this year so we ventured into the orangecello again. Lemoncella up next. Below is the recipe we made:
15-20 large oranges
2 750ml bottles of Everclear
5 cups of sugar
5 cups of water
Cut orange rhines into(quarters) and remove the pith(white layer) from the orange peels- eat an occasional slice of orange with your favorite libation while cutting and pithing
Place peels into large bottle and add Everclear or other grain alcohol
Add sugar to water and boil until clear. Let cool and add to bottle
Shake mixture to permeate alcohol, place in freezer to chill.
Ready to drink in 3-5 days.
Drink responsibly....yeah right with grain alcohol!
This can be made with 100 proof vodka but will take considerably longer to ferment
